Lol. I know what you're thinking. On the live version, Frampton used a talkbox, a device hooked up to his guitar amp that allowed him to make distorted vocal sounds through a tube in his mouth. Other groups had success with the device around that time (Aerosmith used it on "Sweet Emotion" the year before), but Frampton became most associated with it thanks to his talkbox solo on this song.

Frampton took it to a whole new level: every time he formed words, the crowd went nuts, especially when he sounded out "I want to thank you," which came out sounding like "I want to f--k you."

Frampton Comes Alive, which shot Frampton to stardom and became the best-selling live album ever, at least until live albums by Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles surpassed it.
Huh that's why that sounded familiar. I've never heard of a talkbox but see what you're saying. I deftly heard the crowd roarin at times I didn't quite get but now make sense. Thanks for the schooling :)
